Pakistan’s ex Prime Minster Imran Khan is to be freed from custody, a day after the Supreme Court ruled his arrest on corruption charges was illegal.
Judges have granted Khan bails for two weeks, meaning he can not be re-arrested on those charges for at least two weeks.
However, Khan has told Pakistani journalists today in the court room ‘I may be arrested again today.’ The 70 year olds arrest escalated tensions between him and the military.
Since being ousted less than four years into his terms, he has become one of the military’s most vocal critics, and analysts say the army’s popularity has fallen. Khan is due to address the nation today, after he leaves the court.
